February 2024 saw the exciting debut of Silversands Beach House, a boutique retreat nestled along the pristine shores of Portici Beach, just three minutes from the airport. With only 28 intimate rooms and suites, the resort stands out for its stunning sail-like arched canopies, offering a seamless blend of indoor and alfresco living through floor-to-ceiling windows. Embodying the essence of tropical modernism, the design is sleek and contemporary, with calming neutral tones, natural woods, and a chic minimalist aesthetic.
The beachfront bungalows grant direct access to the soft sands and the sparkling Caribbean Sea, while cliff-edge accommodations provide breathtaking vistas from their king-sized beds. At the heart of the resort is Azzuro, a fine-dining Italian restaurant and bar. With its indulgent Mediterranean flavors and stunning ocean views, Azzuro has quickly become a must-visit destination for both hotel guests and island explorers.
Silversands Grand Anse: A Sister Property of Elevated Luxury
Just 10 minutes away via the resort’s Tesla transfers lies the Silversands Resort Grand Anse, the original Silversands property that opened in 2018. This larger retreat boasts 43 suites and eight villas, all designed with sleek, understated luxury in mind. Art and sculptures are thoughtfully curated throughout the property, complementing its elegant architecture. The resort is also home to the Caribbean’s longest pool—a spectacular 100-meter stretch flanked by swaying palms and endless ocean views.
The Spa at Silversands, open 24/7, offers a truly global wellness experience. Treatments range from heated bamboo cane therapies inspired by local traditions to Egyptian foot reflexology and advanced aesthetics featuring 111SKIN products. The spa’s highlight is the $45,000 rose quartz crystal bed used in psammotherapy, promising the ultimate in relaxation and rejuvenation.
Culinary delights abound, with Grenadian Grill serving fresh seafood and local favorites like shrimp tacos and lobster, while Asiatique brings bold Asian flavors to the Caribbean, creating a rich fusion dining experience.
Grenada: A Hidden Caribbean Treasure
Known as the Spice Isle, Grenada is a vibrant, soulful island offering a rich and authentic Caribbean experience. Far from the crowded tourist hubs of its neighbors, Grenada invites visitors with its warm hospitality, colorful culture, and abundant natural beauty.
The island’s culinary scene is a standout, fueled by its locally grown spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger—all available at the bustling Grand Anse spice market. Grenada is also renowned for its rare Trinitario cocoa bean, celebrated for its complex fruity and floral notes, making it an ideal destination for chocolate enthusiasts.
Grenada’s natural beauty is equally compelling. As one of the Caribbean’s top diving destinations, it offers unforgettable experiences, from exploring the Molinere Bay Underwater Sculpture Park to snorkeling with turtles and discovering vibrant marine life. The island also boasts hot springs, towering waterfalls, lush rainforests, and majestic mountains waiting to be explored.
This winter, Grenada will elevate its appeal to luxury travelers with the opening of Merveilles in Port Louis. Overlooking the historic capital of St. George’s, this glamorous new hub will feature upscale dining, boutique shopping, live music, and a state-of-the-art marina and yacht club, positioning Grenada as the next must-visit destination for discerning travelers.
Whether you’re savoring fine cuisine, immersing yourself in nature, or indulging in luxurious spa treatments, Grenada offers an unforgettable escape brimming with charm, culture, and sophistication.
